How to grow wintersweet

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: For growing wintersweets, you should choose sandy soil that is rich in humus and relatively loose.

2. Watering: Wintersweet is very afraid of waterlogging. If there is too much water, it will grow poorly and will also affect the differentiation of flower buds. The soil of wintersweet is best kept dry. Generally, do not water it if it is not dry, and water it thoroughly when you do. However, you need to water it more in summer. As long as there is enough water, it can grow normally.

3. Temperature: Wintersweet is relatively cold-resistant and can survive the winter normally as long as the temperature is not lower than 15℃. It is best to control the temperature at 16-23℃.

4. Pruning: Properly cut off diseased branches, dead branches and overly dense branches. Timely pruning can help it grow better.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Sowing method: When the shell of wintersweet turns yellow and the seeds turn black-brown, take out the seeds and store them. They can be sown in March of the following year. Soak the seeds in water for about 24 hours before sowing. New seeds germinate quickly, so anti-freeze measures should be taken in winter.

2. Division method: Use a knife to divide it into multiple small plants. Each small plant should have 1-2 main branches, and leave 10 cm short branches for planting.

3. Common pests and diseases

There are generally few diseases on wintersweets, the most common ones are aphids, scale insects, and spiny moths. When pests appear, you can spray them with pesticides. If there are few pests, you can capture them manually and then remove the diseased leaves.
